Description

Note: Descriptions are shown in the official language in which they were submitted.


S
Hlgh molecular weicJht alkenyl succinic deriva-tives are
effective dispersants inlubrica-ting oils. For example,
alkenyl succinimides of various amines are described in
U.S. Patent Specifications 3,219,666 and 3,172,892. Alkerlyl
succinic es-ters are described in U.S. Patent SpeciEications
3,381,022 and 3,331,776. Dispersan-ts containing both ester
and amide groups are disclosed in U.S. Patent Specifications
3,184,474 and 3,804,763.
Many of these dispersants provide ade~uate dispersancy
but tend to produce piston lacquer when used in internal
combustion engines.
~ccording to the present invention, ashless dispersants
are provided which have reduced pis-ton lacquer deposition
characteristics when used in internal combustion engines.
These additives are the reaction products of (a) high
molecular weight hydrocarbon-substituted succinic acids,
anhydrides or esters (b) alcohols, (c) hydroxy-substituted
amines, (d) hydrocarbyl succinimides or succinamides and
(e) polyox~alkylene amines.
More particularly, the invention provides an ashless
dispersant for use in lubricating oil, said dispersant
being the product made by the process comprising reacting
(a) 0.9-1 moles oE a hydrocarbon-substituted
succinic acid or anhvdride wherein said hvdro-
carbon substltuent has an average molecular wei~ht
of at least 700,e.g. 700 to 5000.
(b) 0.1-1. 0 moles of an alcohol contalning

where R is a divalent aliphatic hydrocarbon
group containing 2-4 carbon atoms, Rl is a poly-
valent saturated hydrocarbon radical having the
valence p and containing 2-10 carbon atoms, m is
an integer from 1 to 50, n is an integer from 1 to

amaleic anhyclr:id~ at elevated ternperatures. ~E desired, a
cat~lys-t such as chlorine (U.S. Pa-tent Specifica-tion
3,912,76~) or peroxide (S~AEo Patent Specification 73-07245)
can be included. The product ~ormed is a hydrocarbon-
substitu-ted succinic anhydride. If desired, this can be
hydrolyr~ed to the acid or reacted with lower alcohols (e.g.
methanol, ethanol, isobutanol, isopropanol, and the like)
to provide es-ters.
The preferred hydrocarbon substituent is a polyo~efin
substituent such as polypropenyl, polyisobutenyl, and the
likeO Succinic derivatives having such substituents are
made by heating a polyolefin of proper molecular weight
with maleic anhydride as described above.
The average molecular weight of the hydrocarbon sub-
stituen-t may sui-tably be from 700 to 30,000. The use of
higher molecular wei~ht e.g. 10,000-30,000, for the hydro-
carbon substituents does provide VI improving properties.
Good detergent properties however can be obtained in the
range of 700 to 5000. Most pre~erably, the hyarocarbon
substituent is a polyisobutenyl group having a molecu].ar
weigh-t of 700 to 2000.
A broad range of alcohols can be used such as methanol,
isobutanol, dodecanol, eicosanol, -triacontanol, hentria-
contanol, oc-tatriacontanol, ethylene glycol r diethyléne
glycol, triethylene glycol, propYlene glycol, glycerol,
sorbitol, mannitol, sorbitan, mannitan, octadecanol, penta-
erythritol, dipentaerythritol, and the like. It can be seen
that these include monohydroxy and polyhydroxy alcohols

lS
containincJ up -to six hydrox~ ~roups, ~rhe p~eferred alcohols
contain 1 to 4 hydroxy groups and 1 to 40 carbon atoms~
The more preEerred alcohols are the hindered polyols.
Useful hindered polyols are those which contain 5-10
carbon atoms and 3-4 hydrox~ ~roups. ~epresenta-tive examples
are trimethylolethane, trime-thylolpropane, trimethylolbutane,
and pentaerythritol. Although no-t preferred, e-thers of these
polyols can be used such as dipentaerythritol.
Primary and secondary hydroxy-substituted amines include
amines which contain an amino nitrogen atom having at least
one reactive hvdrogen atom bonded to it. The amines also
contain 1-3 hydroxy substituents and preferably 2-20 carbon
atoms. Examples of such amines are ethanol amine, diethanol
amine, propanol amine, N-ethanol dodecyl-amine, N-ethanol,
oleylamine, N-ethanol ethylenediamine, ethylene oxide treated
polyeth~lene amines such as oxyalkylated diethylene triamine,
triethylene tetramine, tetrae-thylene-pentamine, pentaeth~lene
hexamine and the like. The most preferred hydro~y-suhstituted
amines are tris-hydroxymethyl-aminomethane designated herein
as "T~AM" and diethanol amine.
Suitable hydrocarbyl succinimides and succinamides
used in Step ~d) include those in which the hydrocarb~l group
contains at least 12 up to 200 carbon a-toms. Examples of such
h~drocarbyl groups are dodecvl, dodecenyll tetradecyl, eicosyl,
triacontvl, pentaacontyl, octaacontvl, and still higher alkyl
and alkenyl substitutents. Processes for making such compounds
are well known; see for instance U.S. Patent Specifications
3,219,666; 3~172,892; 2,182,178; and 2,490,744~ Thev are made
by reacting a hydrocarbyl succinic anhydride, acid or ester with

jrc;~

an amine~.
Preferably, the hvdrocarhyl group is derived from a
polyoleEin such as polypropylene or polyisobu-tylene containing
12 to 200 carbon atoms. The most preferred hydrocarbyls are
derived from polyisobu-tylene containing 50-200 carhon atoms
(mol. w-t. 700-2800).
The imide or amide yroup of the succinimide or
succimamide in Step (d) is derived -Erom primary or seconaary
amines con-taining 2-6 amino nitrogen atoms, at least one of
which is primarv and 1-30 carbon atoms. Imide formation
requires that the amine contain at least one primarv amino
group. Representative examples of useful amide or imide
forminq nitrogen compounds are N, N-dime-thvl-propanediamine,
N-octadecenyl propanediamine, N-(octadecenylaminoprop~l)
propanediamine, piperazine, plperidine, N-aminoethYlpiperazine,
N-aminoethylmorpholine, 1, 6-hexane-diamine, and the like.
Preferably the amide or imide group is derived by
reacting a hvdrocarbyl succinic acid or anhydride with a
polyethylenepolyamine. These amines are someti~es named
polyethyleneamines or ethvlenepolyamine. These amines for
the mos-t part consist of compounds having the Eormula
H2N--~--CH2C112NH -) q -H
wherein ~ is aninteger from 1 to about 10. Such amines
are commercial products, represerltative examples include
ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, triethvlenetetramine,
tetraethylenepen-tamine, and the like, includin~3 mixtures
thereof. Thus, the hydrocarbyl succinimide is most pre-Eer-
ably a polyisobutylene succinimide of a polye-thvleneamine in
which the polvisobutylene ~roup contains 50-200 carbon atoms.

- The additives are added to lubricating oil in an
amount which provide the desired amount of dispersancy. A use-
ful concentration is about 0.1-10 weight percent. A more pre-
ferred range is about 3.5 weight percent.
The present invention provides an improved crankcase
lubricating oil. Accordingly, an er~odiment of the invention
is an improved motor oil composition formulated for use as a
crankcase lubricant in an internal combustion engine wherein
the improvement comprises including in the crankcase oil an
amoun-t of the present additives sufficient to ~rovide
dispersancy.

The aclditi~s can be used in mineral oll or in
synthetic oils of viscositY suitable Eor use in th~ crank-
case of an internal combustion en~ine.
Mineral oils include those oE suitable viscosity
refined from crude oil Erom a:Ll ~ources including ~;ulfcoast,
midcontinen-t, Pennsylvania, California, Alaska, mid-east,
Africa, North Sea, Asian, and the like. Various standard
refinery operations can be used in processing ~he mineral
oil such as catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, hydrotreating
and the like.
Synthetic oil includes both hydrocarbon synthetic oil
and synthetic esters. Useful synthetic hydrocarbon oils
include liquid polymers of ~-olefins havin~ the proper
viscosity. Rspecial1v useful are the hydrogenated liquid
oligomers of C6~12 ~-olefins such as ~-decene tri~er.
Likewise, alkylbenzenes of proper viscosity can be used,
such as didodecylbenzene.
Useful synthetic esters include the esters of both
monocarboxylic acid and polycarboxylic acia as well as
monohydroxy al~anols and polyols. Typical examples are
didodecyl adipate, trimethylolpropane, tripelargonate,
pentaerythritol tetracaproate, di-(2-ethylhex~l)adipate,
dilauryl sebacate and the like. Complex esters p~epared
from mixtures of mono- and dicarboxylic acid and mono- and
polyhydroxyl alkanols can also be used.
Blends of mineral oil with sYnthetic oil are
particularly useful. For example, blends of 10-25 weight
percent hydrogenated ~-decene trimer with 75-90 weight
percent 0.0000321 m /sec. (100F) mineral oil results in an

excel:Lent lubrieank. Likewlse,blendS of about :L0-25 ~/eiyht
percent di-(ethylhexy:l.)cldipate with mineral oil of proper
viscosity results in a superior lubricating oil. Also blends
of synthetie hydrocarbon oil with synthetie oil are especially
useful when preparin~ low viscositv oil (e.c; S~E 5r~l 20)
sinee they permit these low viscosities without eontributing
e~eessive volatility
The more preferred lubricating oil eomposition ineludes
zine dihydrocarbyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) in eombination with
the presen-t additives. Both zinc dialkyldithiophosphates
and zinc dialkaryldithiophosphates as well as mixed alkyl-
aryl ZDDP are useful. A typical alkyl-type ZDDP contains a
mixture of isobutyl and isoamyl groups~ Zine di-(nonyl-
phenyl)-dithiophosphate is a typical aryl-type ZDDP. Good
results are aehieved using sufficient ~DDP to provide 0.01-0.5
weight pereent zine. A preferred eoncentration supplies
0.05-0.3 weight percent zinc.
Another additive used in the oil compositions is the
alkaline earth metal petroleum sulEonates or alkaline
earth metal alkaryl sulfonates. Examples of these are
calcium petroleum sulfonates, magnesium petroleum sulfonates,
barium alkaryl sulfonates, ealcium alkaryl sulfonates or
magnesium alkaryl sulfonates. Both the neutral ana the over-
based sulfonates having base numbers up to 400 can be
benefieially used. These are used in an amount to provide
0.05-1~5 weight pereent alkaline earth metal ana more pre-
ferably 0.1-1.0 weight pereent. In a most preferred e~mbodiment
the lubricating oil eomposition eontains a ealeium petroleum
sulfona-te or alkarly (e.g. alkylbenzene) sulonate.

Viscosity lnde~ improvers can be :inc:Luded such as the
polyalkylmethacrvlate tvpe or the ethylene-propylene copolymer
-type. Likewlse, styrene-diene VI improvers or st~rene-acr~late
copolymers can be used. Alk~line earth rnetal salts of
phosphosulfurized poly:isobut~lene are use~ul.
The present additives can be used in combination
with other ashless dispersan-ts such as the polvolefin-
substituted succinamides and succinimides of polvethvlene
polyamines such as tetraethylenepentamine. The p~lyolefin
succinic substituent is preferablv a polyisobutene group
having a molecular weight of from about 800 to 5000. Such
ashless dispersents are more fully described in U.S.
3,172,892 and U.S. 3,219,666.
Another useful class of ashless dispersants are the
polyolefin succinic es-ters of mono- and polyhydroxy alcohols
containing 1 to 40 carbon atoms
The succinic amide, imide and or ester tvpe ashless
dispersants may be boronated bv reaction with a boron
compound such as boric acid. Likewise, the succinic amide,
imide, and or ester may be oxyalkvlated by reaction with an
alkylene.oxide such as e-thylene oxide or propylene oxide.
Other useful ashless dispersants include the Mannich
condensa-tion products of polyolefin-substitu-ted phenols,
formaldehyde and pole-thylene polyamine. Preferably, the
polyolefin phenol is a polyisobutylene-substituted phenol
in which the polyisobutylene group has a molecular weight
of from 800 to 5000. The preferred polyethylene polyamine is
tetraethylene pentamine. Such Mannich ashless dispersants are more
fully described in the following United States Patent Spec-
ifications U.S. 3,368,972; U.S. 3,413,347; U.S. 3~442/808;

The above Mannich dispersan-ts can be reacted with
boria acid to Eorm boronated dispersants having improved
corrosion properties.
Tests have been carried out whichdemonstrate the
effectiveness of the present additives. The base oil in
all cases was ~ormulated to contain a phosphonate phenate,
a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate, a low base and high base
calcium sulfonate, an anti-foam agent and 4 weight percent
of the test additive.
The additives were tested in the CAT lH2 240 hour
engine test. This is an industrv standard diesel engine
test. The results were as follows: 3
